Chapter 138 Epilogue

A bell in a bell, a bell in a bell...... The storytelling gong struck, and the rice bowl was turned around the audience.

The sky is empty, and the light of the small pool is rippling.

The three more drums and the five more chickens are just absurd.

Ladies and gentlemen, throw up the cigarettes!

[138] Epilogue

After the tactics were laid out by the two regiment commanders on the radio, the Jian-5 in all directions immediately went out in groups, and the four planes pounced down from a high altitude, and the two planes cut the inner line and the two planes cut the outer line. Each squadron chooses its own entry point to find fighters.

These J-5 fighters are so brave and fearless, when they dive down from a high altitude, they are like eagles that pounce on their food, silent, keen, and unstoppable. They swooped down from the sky without hesitation.

The various squads of the Jian-6 Brigade were already like guerrillas, swooping down to the prey they were looking for that had not yet had time to return to the team, and once the target was locked into the sight, the two 30mm cannons mercilessly spewed out the shells frantically.

There was no suspense in this air battle from the start. One side is terrified, the other side is passionate. Later generations of military commentators wrote that this air battle was called the eagle catching the pigeon.

The sound of machine guns continued, and fierce silver aluminum alloy animals continued to dive down from the sky, hitting and leaving. The escort mustangs were killed in all directions, fled in embarrassment, and the Laverbury circle became an empty talk, these fighters without fighting spirit could not trust their comrades, once attacked, where were they willing to protect the bombers in the airspace below, the formation was gone, and they just fled frantically.

The pilots of the Jian-5 found out at the beginning that the mysterious Jian-6 group was flexibly interspersed in front of the bombers, and they had already beaten only half of the enemy's bombers before, and now they began to eat away at the remaining stupid big black and coarse, and they suddenly felt like a cat scratching.

Dong Hongjun said to Wang Hai on the radio while flying: "Regiment leader, it seems that we are late." ”

Wang Hai replied shortly: "It's not too late, give me a good call." ”

Dong Hongjun replied crisply: "Regiment commander, you don't need to say it, we have all changed to a second plane, and if we don't shoot down a few planes, we will be embarrassed in our hearts." ”

In the face of the constantly flying jet fighters, as many as two regiments of Jian-5 chased and intercepted, the formation that the bombers had finally gathered dispersed for the second time, the first time because of the panic evasion after the enemy attack, and the second time because there were too many enemy planes, and the bomber pilots were completely out of control, and no one wanted to stay on the periphery of the cluster, so they simply scattered and fled. What happened on the battlefield could not be repeated, let alone the third time, and this cluster could never be gathered again.

Li Pingyang had collapsed at this time, and after his B25 was hit, he immediately chose to parachute, and after parachuting, he kept counting the number of PLA fighters in the air.

“1.2.3…… Li Pingyang really can't count them, how can there be more than 50 of them, right? It's over, this time it looks like the whole army has been wiped out......"

J-5 is very strong, but the double-engine J-6 fighter is stronger, if the J-5 is like a fierce hunting dog, then the J-6 is a powerful cheetah, the two turbojets of the twin engines give the J-6 a strong power output, making the aircraft more high-speed and more stable, and a set of various difficult actions are used without dragging. If the Jian-5 still has some single tactical movements, the Jian-6 is comfortable in the surroundings of the enemy plane, and rushing up at high speed is a life. THE TWO 30MM CANNONS ON BOARD ARE RUTHLESS AND ACCURATE, AND THEY HIT WHEN THEY BITE, HIT WHEN THEY HIT, AND RUN WHEN THEY HIT, AS FAST AS LIGHTNING. If we want to talk about the problem of Jian-6-B, that is, like Jian-5, there are not many ammunition in reserve, 73 shells per cannon, according to the speed of 850 rounds per minute of the 30mm cannon, press and fire, and all of them will be consumed in 6 seconds.

When one after another, the Jian-6 and Jian-5, which had been emptied of ammunition, began to return home, and this air battle also reached the final stage. A few J-5s that didn't have time to fire continued to chase the dead to the north, and what remained in the air were a few Mustang fighters, which did live a long time because of their small size, especially when the enemy planes were busy strangling the bombers, it was a good time for the Mustang to escape.

However, when the first and second empty regiments were under the command, behind every fleeing wild horse, there must be a Jian-5 following behind, which made the wild horses desperately go around in circles in place in order to save their lives. There's no way, you can't run and run, you can't win, but there's only a dead end left.

Zhou Yanxin, as the air commander of the Mustang fighter group, also has excellent flying jishu, in this battle, he successfully cut into the back of Jian-5 twice, but what frustrated him was that as long as he cut into the opponent's six-o'clock position, the opponent immediately spewed bright and scorching flames from behind his buttocks, and flew straight out at a speed that he couldn't catch up with, and then used the climbing speed of 75 meters per second to pull into the high-altitude route in front of Zhou Yanxin, and then cut down at high speed behind him. Zhou Yanxin knew that with the 10-meter-per-second climbing speed of the "wild horse" under his crotch, not to mention biting the opponent, he couldn't even bite the mud on the soles of his feet.

In the end, Zhou Yanxin was hit by an aerial cannon and only half of the ammunition left Jian-6 found that the Jian-6 was light and elegant like a fairy, around the elusive arc, from above several consecutive rolls cut into Zhou Yanxin's tail, slid and pulled closer, and stuffed the remaining cannon shells into the back ridge and chrysanthemum of the "Mustang" piloted by Zhou Yanxin, and instantly beat Zhou Yanxin's fighter into a tailless T-shape. Zuihou Zhou Yanxin rolled and escaped from the car that fell from the fire and parachuted to escape.

The whole air battle, which lasted more than two hours, ended in this way, and after this war, the living Liliang of Taiwan's air force was basically swept away, and although it is true that there are still more than 400 planes, there are very few experienced pilots left, and Lao Chiang's gambling book has been swept away in this battle.

The take-off speed problem that needs to be solved urgently by the Fifth Air Division will also be resolved after the Spring Festival, and the Baoshan Dachang Airport and Hongkou Jiangwan Airport have been renovated and newly transported military navigation take-off and landing equipment has been installed. These two airports were built by the invading Japanese army, and were later destroyed in the war, and now they have finally been rebuilt.

In the future, the 1st Air Regiment and the 2nd Air Force Regiment of the 5th Air Force Division, plus the 6th Jian-6 Brigade, a total of five brigades, will all be stationed at the four major airports in Puhai, and Hangzhou will no longer be used as the garrison of the 2nd Air Regiment. The simultaneous take-off and landing of the four airfields will be able to lift all the fighters of all five groups into the air within 30 minutes. The capabilities of emergency air defense have been significantly strengthened.

Cao Xiaoqiang learned the news of the second great victory in the Puhai Air Battle on the news of the Central People's Radio, and at this time he was already sitting in the venue of the Spring Festival Gala temporarily arranged by the Central People's Radio.

This small auditorium is not big, just in the hall on the first floor of the southwest of the Central People's Broadcasting Station, and is usually used to pull a curtain and show a movie at most. Today, the place is decorated with joy, and the walls around the small hall are hung with various New Year's greeting couplets, and there are some slogans calling on everyone to accelerate the construction of the country. More than a dozen red lanterns were hung in rows at the back of the stage as a set. In the middle of the small hall, a space the size of a basketball court is the stage, and around it are round tables borrowed from the hotel, covered with white tablecloths, simple and tight. There are cups and thermos on the table, some peanuts and melon seeds are piled up, and there is a white porcelain plate on each table, and some hand-baked biscuits specially made by the chef of the Beijing restaurant are stacked on the plate. Chairs were placed around the table, and most of the audience was already there, and the audience sat on the chairs and greeted each other with familiar people. Excitedly discussing the party.

“………… Central People's Radio, Central People's Radio............"

The announcer repeated the letterhead of the communication, announced:

“…… At a time when the whole country was about to usher in complete liberation, and when the people of the whole country were in full swing to grasp the revolution and promote production, Chang Kaishen, who had fled to Taiwan, once again launched a rampant attack on the people's power! …… It's tolerable, it's unbearable. Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee and Chairman of the MAO, a certain unit of the East China Air Force carried forward the revolutionary heroic style of not fearing hardship and death, and fearlessly took off in an emergency to fight to the death against the invading Chiang bandit air force cluster! ………… All the commanders and fighters of this unit have infinite love for the people and hatred for the enemy, and they have vowed to be an iron fist to defend the people and a steel knife to defeat the enemy............ Beginning this morning, in a hand-to-hand combat in the air that lasted more than two hours of blood and fire, the unit fought bravely with a fearless revolutionary heroic fighting style, completely smashed the enemy's shameless ambitions and reactionary plots, and completely annihilated the mixed group of Kuomintang reactionary bombers and fighters in the airspace south of the Puhai Sea at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and completely annihilated 71 enemy planes, none of which were spared, and all of them were shot down by our heroic air force fighters. However, our army did not suffer a single casualty, only lost a Jian-5 fighter, and achieved remarkable results, and at present, our army's parachute pilot has been found, and he is in good health............ The brilliance of our air force's achievements in this battle is rare in the world, and it has written a heroic chapter in the history of Shijie air combat............"

Xiaoqiang's first reaction after listening to the radio was that the Jian-5 piston machine could actually be shot down, and the Kuomintang Air Force still had some strength.

In fact, the crashed J-5 was really unlucky, he was not shot down by the P51 Mustang fighter, after all, the Mustang did not have this ability, even if the P51 entered the 6 o'clock position, the J-5 opened an afterburner and slapped his ass and left, and the Mustang could only be left behind and eat ashes.

The pilot of this Jian-5 is called Li Rusong, and when he rushed into the enemy bomber group with the intention of tearing through the opponent's formation, he was swept wildly by the machine gunners on the dense bombers around him, and hit his plane engine with great luck. Fortunately, the destructive power of the mobile phone gun was poor, and it did not cause an explosion, so the engine stopped directly at that time, and the plane was out of control. However, the pilot Li Rusong was in good physical condition, and he recognized the direction on the parachute, and swam five kilometers north directly to the shore in a life jacket.

As soon as the pilot Li Rusong swam to the edge of the tidal flat, he was immediately rescued by the coastal defense troops arranged by the East China Military Region, who had already arrived looking at the umbrella flowers, and waited on the shore; after escaping, Li Rusong immediately wailed and cried; first, he was reluctant to give up his second Jian-5, and second, he felt ashamed and embarrassed, why did he become the first pilot of the Fifth Air Division to be shot down? It's a shame. I have the heart to die.

However, after returning to the Air Force station, the chief did not blame him at all, but comforted him greatly, and praised Li Rusong for his heroic fighting.
